IMO she was good in MK3-MKT and in MKDA. In MK3 she had solid moves (upper bicycle kick) and in DA she was easy to win with. I hope they build off her from MKDA. Just give here better special moves.

Of COURSE she IS!

God, this is the original chick of the game! Sonya is one of the very few characters that have been around in every tournament since Mk1. She has evolved to become one of the most powerful characters of the series. Just look at MkDA, she is a Top Tier among the strongest male characters, and being the strongest female as well.

Her Fatalities and special moves are just excellent and she has a decent storyline. This has to be the most known chick in the world of Mk. Her look has also evolved to resemble the tough, rough, mean, sarcastic Sonya we love (plus she is the only blond). She shows woman can truly “take care for themselves” with out being the typical weak fighters we see in games.

This chick has personality; she is simply one of the most important chosen heroes to represent earth in battle, and a main weapon for the group.

Sonya is a must for Mk6, Mk wouldn’t be the same with out her (and her leg grab!).

I ado agree I would like her story to change, only a little bit, or maybe a lot! I read in the official comics books of Mk, they had the idea to make Sonya marry Shao Kahn.

I think it would be awesome to see her turn EVIL by the powers of the Dragon King, and forced to marry him to cause a brutal disturbance between the worlds. She could be a very powerful tool, for the Great King.

She could spy on her friends and even fight them, but inside, she is actually fighting her soul, to be free from the dark spell. I think an Evil Sonya would be cool, but at the end she has to return to normal of course.

Sonya has always been a good character in the games. Shes had good moves and Fatalities. All she needs now is a good story to keep her entertaining.

Sonya is a terrific character. She was the first Mortal Kombat fermale fighter. I always chose her in MK1 and even though she wasnt a playable character in MK2. She was still in the backgrounds chained up, i found that really kool. But sonya is a must. I think they should just make her character model a little thinner. She looks too buff. In MK3 she looked awesome and also in MK4. I didnt really like her look in MKDA. Her moves from MK1 to MKDA have all been good. She still has most of her signature moves or so i think. Im looking forward to sonya in MKDA

Do you guys(girls) know a way that they could change her that would make her more interresting (no bigger boobs lol)?

Are you serious?

She has VERY great, powerful and fun special moves! In Mk1 she brought the Leg grab, which is a fan fave, the ring toss which was cool, and the wave punch which was very useful. Thanks to those moves and her speed, she was Top Tier (No1) in Mk1.

In Mk3 she came back with the excellent leg grab again, and the cool ring toss and wavepunch moves, but also, they added her an excellent special! Her Vertical bicycle kicks were actually much better then Liu Kang’s, they caused more damage and they were safer to perform. Great fighter in Mk3.

In Mk4 she came back with all the moves mentioned before, but she got better! They added her a Leg Air throw that was very useful and the cartwheel kicks that were also great, definitely a Top Tier in Mk4.

In MKDA, sadly she was only given 2 moves, but 2 Excellent moves! The kiss is by far one of the best special moves, VERY effective and fun to use to perform the most brutal combos. Her Fly kick was just like Liu Kang, which was useful when another character did their power-ups or other moves that were evaded. She is Top Tier in this game.

Her Kiss fatality is a signature, a MUST IMO, and I hope to see it again in Mk6. Besides, it has NEVER been the same kiss, it has always been different, bloody and great:

In Mk1 we had the Fire.
In Mk3 we had the Fire AND the Prison Mist.
In Mk4 we had a Destructive kiss AND a LEG GRAB!
Finally, in MkDA we had a Toxic kiss that caused the person to puke.

Like I said, she is an extremely good character. But I think her story could change a bit, she would be cool if turn EVIL. That would not only affect her storyline, but probably help others for a change! Like Johnny Cage and Jax.

To be honest with you I thought she was completely useless until MK4 and then especially MK5. I really liked her in Deadly Alliance. Same goes for Raiden. Both of them were kinda getting stale to me but I really like their look and styles now.

hell yea sonya is the ass kickin chick of mk, ive always liked a classic and she is by far one of the most classic characters in mk, to me she's an og.

also if you think about it, raiden kang and cage all made some apperance in mk.

raiden was in the intro to mk3 and umk3

johnny cage's name was engraved in a grave in the graveyard, his body musta been under that. just a name but still he was part of the stage.

and kang was in the intro to deadly alliance.

i cant say the samething for sub-zero but his name was carried along all of the mks.

Sonya has awesome kicks, kick combos. I always have trouble blocking them. Speaking of blocking she's a decent blocker too, of course you won't find a better blocker than the comp. on max that is.( reversals too)

To be honest, I never cared much for Sonya in the past. I really like her in Deadly Alliance, though; her combos, especially in the Tai Kuan Do tree, are amazingly useful, and all of her moves in general are just great.

The only problem I had with her in MKDA was the fact that they stripped most of her special moves. She now only has the kiss attack and a flying kick; they gave her ranged attack and flying punch to Li Mei! That irked me a lot.

I would love to see Sonya return, with all of her old special moves. I also like the fact that she's the only female in the MK series that wears a decent amount of clothing; the scantily clad females really get on my nerves (especially since I often play the game with my wife), and Sonya's outfits have always been just fine.

I have to agree with every word you've said. Sonya is a staple of the MK series. As the first lady of the series, she has to stay and he moves have become legendary and are also trademarks. The Kiss of Death is in itself one of the things that makes up sonya. Taking it away from her would be stupid! Her storyline does need tweaking. Making her evil would be awesome!

Too fucking right she is.

She was basically the centrefold in MK1, it was generally no longer being stereotyped, i mean beforehand the majority of fighting games were men, and suddenly this ass-kicking chick scorches the fighting world of gaming and revolutionizes it.

I know many peoples opinions of Sonya are mixed but it doesn't matter, her, Kitana and Mileena are my fav females in MK, and any other fighting game alone.
When I first heard that Sonya was in MKDA i was so excited same was with Kitana, but the day came when I played MKDA, I picked her first and I couldn't belive that Midway had stripped a classic character of her trademark moves, but I loved the evolved storyline of Sonya and I loved her Look, I really hope Kano at least makes a Cameo in MKDA to tie the endless feud between the two, but If I had to pick a winner, I couldn't as I love every single Character in The MK series (apart from Johnny Cage - I hate him).

So theres my 2 cents, Sonya will live on as long as MK does, and I know for a fact that Sonya's position in MK: Deception is Guaranteed,..........

I've always been fond of Sonya; She has overcome very humble beginnings. When a poll showed an interest in a female warrior, an African-American Curtis Stryker was replaced by Sonya Blade. Her moves were mostly feminized versions of Liu Kangs' moves: a flying kick became a flying punch (but not more limited); a red fireball became pink rings (some kind of sexual symbolism I'm sure); a bicycle kick became a rising bicycle kick (again more limited); and as an original move they gave her a dangerous handstand. They then dressed 'the soldier' as an aerobics instructer. Still, it was fun to watch her kick the guys around and she was the only character to have another color (green, red). I still think it was a mistake to not have her in MK2 despite that fact that Kitana was her replacement. I'm glad they are giving Sonya her own moves now and I hope she's around for many more MKs.

Sonya's cool and all... she is a general now, though I didn't care for her general uniform all that much.. she needs more special moves in MK6/Deception and more storyline... hey lets kill Jax and piss her off... sounds like a good Idea to me.. later

Would you seriously want to piss Sonya off if you knew her? lol anyway, I'm all for killing Jax, just to get rid of him! Her General outfit need sosme work. I didn't think much of it. Sonya needs some more 'street'/'tough girl' outfits imo.

I liked her general outfit, but her first one was the best. I loved it.

Killing Jax does not seem to be a good idea, it would still remain like a very similar story. She trying to kill whoever killed Jax.

Well, I never really used her that much in the past MK games, but I liked her a lot better gameplay wise in MK: DA. Her styles suited her and they were very cool and useful. The one problem with her is her storyline. It's not exactly the best but it does kind of progress slowly unlike Jax's storyline which doesn't progress as much...If Sonya were to return, there should be some twists to her storyline. Btw, I did like the fact that there was a rivalry between her and Frost.

Hey Sub! How U doing?

BTW, I also like that rivalry you are talking about. It was pretty fun and interesting to think about these 2 kicking each others butts, and sometimes, I even imagined them fighting as a “team” for some reason but fighting constantly with each other on the way.

It was clear why Sonya never liked Frost since the beginning, she might had doubted from her loyalty to her friends.

I never really had much use for Sonia, except for her being the first female fighter in the MK series. Personally, I always perfered playing as Rayden/Raiden, Sub-Zero, and/or Scorpion. Sad really, since I was the only female player at the local arcade playing MK when it was new. (Hey, at least I was always surrounded by cute guys )

I do admit, that Sonia's latest incarnation isn't half bad. Her weapons in MK5 are way better than that pin-wheel in MK4 (Why did they give her a metal version of a kids toy in MK4?). She actually looks like she can fight and take a beating if necessary. Her previous looks were way too skinny, lacking muscle, and she seemed more eye candy for the boys than an actual fighter.

Her first outfit owned! In fact, I could see her in Uma Thurmans yellow suit if she was given a Katana. She'd make an excllent 'bride'!

The rivalry with Frost needs to be exploited! We need to know exactly what was going on there.

She is an exceptional character, but I find her not to be in my standards. I think she has to many up-close special moves, which I don't like. I do find her Tae Kwon Do style good though. If she is back in the next MK game, which is a 99% chance, they should give her back the Bicycle Kick and Leg Grab.

The Wheel Blade weapon was just awesome in Mk4! I loved the way it rolled in the victims body and the slice hits. It was one of the best weapons of that game! It was pretty original compared with all the other weapons that were most of all boring swords.

Yeah, I just loved the way they did it, it suited her perfectly! LOL. I can picture her in a yellow outfit, but I think that’s not her color. : ) Green, Red, and Black, are her strong colors, and yes, she would make an excellent “bride”.

And once again I agree, that rivalry was very interesting.

Everyone has his/her own opinions. I just thought that pin wheel looked too much of a toy. Hey, I still a little upset over Raiden having a hammer rather than his staff in MK4. However, I'm happy now that he got his staff back in MK:DA.

oh yes shes hot.
sonya blade is a major babe!!

no, she needs to go. either her or jax.
